HENRY THAYEB, OF SYRACUSE, NEW YORK.

COMBINED PLOW.1AND DRAG.

Specification of Letters Patent. 7 PatntedF-eb, 16, 1915,

Application filed October 21, 1918, Serial No. 796,502.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY W. THAYER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State'of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Flows and Drags; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, suchfas willbe quickly attached to a wagon body and operated to plow a wide furrow or series of furrows and to drag and level the ground J after the plow.

Still another object of the invention is to provide a machine for general use on a farm and in which various implements may be connected to and disconnected from a wagon body provided with a suitable motor for operating the various implements, and the motor being capable of use for many purposes around the farm for doing any kind of work requiring motive power.

These and other objects may be attained by means of the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which,

-Figure 1 is a longitudinahsectional view of the combined plow and drag, Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig.3, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows, Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 5+5 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.

Referring to the drawings the numeral 1 designates the wheels of a wagon, preferably formed of metal invso far as possible, and.

mounted upon the wagon frame are a motor 2, a steeringpost 3 and a hand wheel 4, said wagon being provided with a drivers seat'5'.

- This wagon may be utilized for any purposes about a farm and the implements may be readily connected to this wagon and dis connected therefrom whenever required. The drivers seat 5 is supported upon horizontal bars 6 and connected to these bars are inclined braces and supports 7 for the operating n'iechanism.

.ing b The numeral 8 designates a s uare shaft, having its rounded end journa ed in slidocks 9 mounted in guide casin 10,

and connected to said blocks-are rac which extend up and meshwith pinionsnot shown connected to a horizontal shaft 13: The pinions maybe shifted into and outof mesh with the rack bar-s11 by means of an ordinary clutch, not shown. The shaft 8 is rotated by means of a drive chain 16 which passes around a sprocket wheel on the motor shaft and around a sprocket 17 on a shaft 18* mounted in the frame of the wagon. Carried by the shaft 18 is a sprocket wheel around which a sprocket chain 20 passes, said chain pa s ing around a sprocket wheel on the rear axle of the wagon and a larger sprocket wheel on said axle is provided with a sprocket chain 23 which asses around a small sprocket wheel 24ml t e shaft 8. The

shaft 13 is rotated by means of a sprocket chain 25 extending around a sprocket wheel on the shaft 13 and around a similar wheel upon the shaft 21. I

The plow and drag are connected to the wagon frame by means of the connector .plate 26.

The plow comprises a series of radial members 46 each having aplow point 47 connected thereto and it Will beunderstood that there may be a number of these lows connected to the shaft 8, so-that a serles of furrows of considerable width will" be thrown u as the'machine passes over the ground. he do th of the plow points may be regulated by t emovement-of the sliding blocks 9 and by means of the racks 11 and connected parts.

The drag comprises a series of curved bars 48 having detachable and renewable teeth 49, said teeth, or drag members, being connected to the frame of the machine at 50 and extending over and in rear of the plow.

From the foregoing it will be obvious that a machine made in accordance with this invention will find many uses on a farm and can be readily converted for operation with a variety of -implements while the motor may be utilized for any purpose required.

What I claim is 1. A combined plow and drag'comprising p1ows, said drag members each having deframe and means operated by the motor for tachable teeth. rotating the plows. 1 2. A combined plow and drag comprising In testimony whereof I afiix my signature a frame mounted on 'wheels, a shaft, radially in presence of two witnesses.

disposed plows connected to saidshaft, a HENRY W. THAYER. drag comp'rising a curved frame extending Witnesses: over the plows provided with a series of- DORA WOLFSON,
